More nonprofit organizations are seeing the benefits of social media for fundraising. Talk to the interviewer about your thoughts on this form of marketing. If you have ever taken on social media related activities, be sure to mention this to the interviewer.

"I was the social media marketing lead for Company ABC for approximately eight months while we back-filled a marketing position. I feel that small and fast fundraising goals work well on social media. The efforts don't necessarily need to be solely financial focused either. For instance, if you look at the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. Not only did it raise an incredible amount of funds - but it also raised a huge amount of awareness of the disease."

"It's interesting that you ask this question, as I just read an article related to this the other day. One of the ways that social media marketing is beneficial to non-profits is because it allows continual engagement of its stakeholders. Another way social media is great is that it allows for global reach that one normally could not achieve."
